+> Unlike Bing Maps, Azure Maps doesn’t use [session IDs]. Instead, Azure Maps offers a number of free transactions each month as shown in [Azure Maps pricing]. For example, you get 5,000 free *Base Map Tile* transactions per month. Each transaction can include up to 15 tiles for a total of 75,000 tiles rendered for free each month.
 
 <!-- In Bing Maps, any time a synchronous Truck Routing request is made, three transactions are counted. Does this apply also to Azure Maps?-->
